CNY Moments
After reunion dinner on Sunday night, Adrian & I went off for a 4-hour karaoke session with Debs, ET & Chris. The karaoke place is located on B3 of the dodgy Ming Arcade opposite Hard Rock Cafe. But they have a good selection of songs including English songs for people who cannot read Chinese (i.e. Adrian).

If you have been looking at my recent posts and my Facebook albums, you would have noticed that I’ve been wearing that blue anchor t-shirt very often. It’s sad, but I have a rather limited maternity wardrobe. That blue tee is not even a maternity top. It’s a very stretchy tee that I bought from the Cotton On lingerie and pjs shop and it has been serving me very well.
The first day of CNY was spent in a whirlwind of visiting. We started off at my Ah Ma’s place in Clementi, then went to Adrian’s grandparents’ place at Serangoon, after that it was my grandfather’s place at Punggol and finally Adrian’s uncle’s place at Bishan.

It seems like my face has been spreading since I got pregnant. My face is super round and full and my nose is even fatter and flatter than it normally is! Anyway, as can be seen from the photos, Debs is wearing black and Nick is in black & white. I’m the only Tan offspring who bothered to wear something vaguely festive-looking!
New Year!
I’ve been tossing and turning for the last 2 hours but I just can’t sleep! This always happens the night before the first day of school. Decided to get out of bed and spend some time writing about how I spent the first day of 2009.
Attended the watchnight service at the Barker Road Methodist Church preaching point at ACS (International) with the aunt, the husband and the sister-in-law. So at midnight, we were singing Pass It On in the darkened hall and lighting candles. This is the first time Adrian and I welcomed the new year together! Usually, he’d be asleep at home while I’d be in church with my friends. So it was a nice and peaceful way of welcoming the new year. We had supper at the Holland Village coffee shop after the service and we took our first photos of the year!

In the afternoon, we went down to Auntie Iris’s place for lunch and Baby Asher & Baby Aidan were there too. They are incredibly cute. After that, Adrian and I went down to Shun Li Industrial Park at Kaki Bukit to look at the baby stuff at Baby Hypermart and Baby Kingdom. We got the cot, stroller and car seat there so it was a really fruitful trip! Also swung by Enterprise One at Kaki Bukit where Adrian bought a new golf club at the Nike Golf shop there. He is a happy man.
Dinner was spent at one of Adrian’s uncles’ place where the relatives from the mother-in-law’s family were gathered. So all in all, we had a busy day and managed to clear some stuff on our to-do list and also to spend time with family members!
